I am the One and Only

Greetings

Hello there, my fellow travellers, thank you for stopping by my page.

My name's Dragana, which is an old Serbian name meaning 'dear', 'darling' or 'precious'. As such, it's mostly used in poems.

Family

I come from a huge family, with a lot of relatives living not only in Serbia, but also in Slovenia, France, Bulgaria, FYR Macedonia, Australia and other countries. Even my grandfather (my mum's dad) was born and lived for some time in the USA (Pueblo, Colorado).

I haven't met some of my relatives, yet, but I visit those close ones on a regular basis and often hear something interesting and new for my Family Tree. So, I can say that it's in my blood not to stay at one place but to explore the world. My plan's to visit at least one country a year, and I'm on the way to fulfill it.

Work

I've been teaching English since September 2002. During this time, I've spent a lot of memorable time with adorable 7-15-year-olds. I'm proud to say that my younger pupils and I founded a Drama Club in October 2007 and have had several performances of plays called 'The Lost Lamp', 'The Story of Santa Claus', 'Cinderella' and 'Little Red Riding Hood' since.

I've also been the editor of our school e-magazine since October 2008 (designed the pdf version of all the issues, some of which with the help of my niece, and started the blog) and the local FLT coordinator since 2009 (started another blog).

I've done some voluntary work too, including Belgium and Northern Ireland. Thanks to this international volunteerism, I've become richer in friends and wonderful experiences.

Interests

a part of my home library

Beside travelling, meeting new people and cultures, I like reading books (my all-time favourites are 'The Giving Tree' by Sheil Silverstein, 'The Hobbit' by Tolkien and 'Lust for Life' by Irving Stone), taking photos and collecting stamps.
